We are looking back at this year 2025 with thankfulness! We are blessed with a wonderful team of positive, hard working, fun loving people!

At the end of 2025 some of our team members are moving on and home!

Four wonderful people are leaving us and we are sad to loose them, but happy to see them going to theit next step!

Lesly and Neftali , with their baby are going home to a new future and rejoining their family.

Helen and Batuka are returning to Mongolia to (re-) build their dairy plant to craft artisanal yak milk cheeses.
